I might as well have put on a cape this morning, I was that super!

It's the simple things in my kids eyes that keep me great and for that I am thankful.

As my groggy 6 year old schlumpped out into the family room, head low, rubbing his eyes- he instantly stopped. Lifted his head and sniffed.

BANANA BREAD he yelled as he ran into the kitchen where I stood. He looked at me with the sun shining through my bed tasseled hair and my super cape on {I'm sure that's what he saw} and hugged my waist.

Yup, for the simple gesture of using up my old, ripened bananas, I got a superheroes welcome!

I tried a new recipe from House of Smiths, buttermilk banana bread.

So here's the ugly truth. I didn't love the recipe. SSHHHH, don't tell House of Smiths. It was good but not great.

I would much rather eat this recipe from Allrecipes. Simple, basic and lots of bananas giving it a fabulous banana taste.

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 1/3 cups mashed bananas

Mix together dry ingredients and wet ingredients and then stir them together. Sprinkle tops with brown sugar and bake 350 until done! {I use mini loaf pans so they cook faster than the one large pan that the recipe calls for.}

Try them and let me know what you think!
